PitBull Unit Frames 4.0
PitBull Unit Frames 4.0
Woof. Arf. Yip.
Getting Started:
You can help translate PitBull for your language with the localization tool.
Classic
PitBull works with WoW Classic! Classic Era/Vanilla is supported in
v4.3.x-vanilla
releases. Cataclysm Classic is supported in v4.2.x
releases
(the same releases retail use).
Classic Era caveats:
- Aura duration is not available from the API, so PitBull uses LibClassicDurations to show them. The duration can be inaccurate if it's affected by rank or talents.
- Cast info is only available for your spells from the API. PitBull uses LibClassicCasterino to show cast bars for other units, but this can be inaccurate since there is a lot of guess-work involved.

I didn't create an account on wowace to report a fabrication just to make your life harder by forcing you to replicate a bug that wasn't happening at all, on my end or anyone else. I don't know why its happening, or why you aren't able to replicate it, but it is happening for me. No offense, but you shouldn't automatically assume someone is lying because you can't replicate it. I did some additional testing which will hopefully help. If not I don't really know what to do as I'm not experienced at programming or reading through code to be able to spot anything wrong.
-I first disabled all other addons with the exception of Pitbull, created a few new layouts without associating them with a particular unit or unit group, and they still disappeared upon logout.
-I was going to delete my cache today for NPC scan cached mobs so did so now and deleted Pitbull and its modules from interface folder and downloaded the newest build again. Nothing changed.
-I then copied my main character's Pitbull profile to other characters that I commonly log onto since you mentioned it. These characters previously had default profiles active. I noticed when I did this and checked their layout options, the Target's target's target layout I created the day before was available. I didn't re-enable Target's target's target so upon logout on these characters that layout disappeared just as it had on my main character.
-I did, however, find out another important fact. If I re-enable Target's target's target, the layout is once again available in my list! This would serve as a workaround I guess to switching layouts for my raid groups but I would have to go through the trouble of enabling a particular frame, going to the group tab, then selecting that layout associated with that frame as my Unit Group layout during the 2 minutes of down/buff times before the gates open in the 40 man BGs. Hopefully this new discovery might help find the bug.
Sorry that my tone came across as a harsh or aggravated one at the top of this message, but I truly wouldn't create a lie just to make an Author/Maintainer waste his/her time.

It's a bug if it's really happening. But I really don't think it is happening. I have all sorts of test layouts that aren't assigned to any frames or that are assigned to frames that are disabled. Never had a problem with it. I just created a layout and tried to replicate what you described and was not able to, the layout was still there when I logged back in.
Did you by chance log into a different character that had a different profile active?
@Jointstock
How about I teach you to fish instead of just telling you. :)
When in the game type /framestack
You'll get a tooltip that shows you the names of the frames under your mouse (including ones you can't see). Mouse around till you find the info you want.
When you're done just type /framestack again and the tooltip will go away.
@Shefki
Thank you, I have another question as well.
What is the pitbull frame name for auras? I'm asking because it's needed to make an OmniCC exception. I want to use pitbull cooldown text and have OmniCC for my actionbar but I can't figure out the frame name for pitbull auras or if it's even possible to make an exception for it in OmniCC.
Hi! I've been a long time user of Pitbull since its early days and recently cleared my trio of folders to completely create a new UI. After grabbing the most recent version of Pitbull, v4.0.0-beta36-4-g38b3a65, I began setting up various layouts to use for each of my frames and came across something very odd. Before, I only set up a couple of layouts for my frames so I have no idea if this is intended, a bug, or if its been true for a much longer time than just recently.
I decided I wanted to set up 3 separate layouts for my raid frames so I could swap between them based on what I was doing (BGs, 10 man, or 25 man). I noticed that when I created a layout and didn't associate that layout with a Unit or Unit Group, it disappears upon logout. I systematically went through and tested it using a frame I always disable: Target's target's target. I Simply enabled this frame, set up my next layout (lets call it 25-man), and chose this new layout via the drop down box under Target's target's target and logged out. I logged back in and the layout was still available among my other created layouts. I then Disabled Target's target's target while leaving the layout the same. Upon logging back in, it was gone from my list of layouts.
My question is, is this a bug or intended? I would very much like to set up different layouts so that when I join Alterac Valley or Isle of Conquest my bars don't cover up important parts of my UI. I don't want to have to enable extra frames that clutter my screen just to save a unique layout so that it doesn't magically disappear from my list of layouts.
it would be nice if you could tell us when blizzard solved the problem. at the moment i deactivated pitbull, but i want to use it again when the problem is solved.
so i hope it will be told here when i'm able to use it again
I'm guessing you mean the portrait problem. If so you could just disable the Portrait module for now.
I'm not in a great position to know when the problem is fixed because I play and work on a Mac and I can't reproduce the problem.
yeah i read all current comments. but i only really use pitbull because of this 3d portraits. and it looks more beautiful with the classic prtrait than pitbull with 2d.
so i use the classic style again until it works again... and i hope it will again some day.
hm and this with mac is a little problem but maybe another person is friendly enough to tell this here. or i will try it at the next patch....
I found the full body is somewhat doable for me least till it's fixed....I hope :P it's not the best but it is better then the way 2D or "class" looks for me.

We have had aura filtering for far longer than Shadowed Unit Frames has even existed. As far as I know you can only do white and black lists by name in SUF, when we can do a heck of a lot more than that. If you want to just create your own white or black lists you can go to Modules, Aura, Aura filter editor, Advanced. Type in a name for your filter in the New filter box and press enter. Choose when you want the filter to show in the drop down boxes for the aura module, if you're not sure Always is fine for now. Choose Name for the Filter type. Choose White List or Blacklist as it suits you and then you can start adding names below.
Once you've made your filter you can select it to filter the buffs or debuffs on a layout in the Layout editor, Aura, Filters. You can also use filters to decide when to highlight frames.
There is a fairly complex set of filters included already that implements the filtering that was present in PB3.
Is there any chance we could get aura filtering like shadowed unit frames has?
First thank you so much for the continued work on this adon love it!
I looked through some pages and can't seem to find anyone describing my issue. Each time I try and change my talents I get an erro message stating "Pitbull is trying to access information that only the blizzard UI is allowed to access and will be dissabled" if I click ok it dissables the addon I can make the tallent changes then need to log out and re-enable pitbull.
Am I doing something wrong here or is this really a pitbull issue?
If I understand what you're describing, then I have been getting the same pop-up for months, mostly when trying to change glyphs. And has mostly been involving Archon rather then Pitbull, but lately after the patch it's been complaining about Baggins-plugins and ArcHUD. :x
It says in the pop-up "Baggins_Search has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI. You can disable this addon and reload the UI." Option-buttons are Disable and Ignore.
bobyboucher, Can you please execute the following actions. It'll help me narrow down and resolve the issue. Ultimately, the issue is a Blizzard bug, but I should be able to workaround it.
1) First make sure you're running the latest release (at this time beta36).
2) While in the game type the following in your chat box: /console taintLog 1
3) Exit the game. All the way out, do not just log out, completely quit the game.
4) Start the game up again and reproduce the problem again.
5) Exit the game and find the file under your WoW install at Logs/taint.log Do not start the game up again until you have made a copy of the file or uploaded the file in the following step. Starting the game again will wipe out the file.
6) File a ticket on the issue and attach the taint.log file to the ticket. You can file the ticket at the following site (uses the same username/password as this site as it is a Curse site): http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/create-ticket/
Hi,
Thank you for the fast responce I will do that as soon as possible! I stumbled on this at MMO champ where people were experiencing the same issue and one of the addon devs that regularly moderates there described where the error is comming from and I believe how to resolve it. http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1192031-Addon-errors-when-trying-to-switch-glyphs-or-talents?p=18311667&viewfull=1#post18311667
I will do what you asked above asap! Thank you again for looking into it :)
Yup I know how to fix it. It's just a huge pain to find the leak of _ in PB4. Providing the information I requested tells me exactly where the problem is.
sorry for wasting your time shefki! Looks like I had an older version still loaded! updating to the new beta version fixed the issue!
No problem. Glad we got it fixed for you.
You have a custom lua text in your Target Layout named "Lua:NumTarg" It is using the function named GetNumRaidMembers which has been removed from the game. You should disable it and/or adjust it to be compatable for 5.0.4. It's difficult for me to tell you how to do that without seeing the content of the code since the replacement functions aer not entirely drop in replacements and I'd have to understand the logic of the code. If you post it I can provide you a corrected version.
